Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaWas quite minimal and outdated/rundown. Beds weren’t very comfortable. Shower/bath was hand held, a bit difficult. The drains clogged very easily.
Good location, easy check in and had all the basics. Was similar price to a hostel for a private room.

PortugalTerrible beds, made of stone, mattresses on stone pedestals. 2 single beds you could not move next to each other... Very humid, so you want to keep the window open during the night in order to breathe, but then there is too much noise from outside to sleep.

IrelandThe shower was little bit broken bit, that along with some other small details such as the beds not being the most comfortable, etc. But, for the price we paid it was a great place to stay!
Staff were really kind and helpful- let us check out early with no trouble! They were really accommodating and always checked in to see if we were happy with everything. Location wise it's just off the town centre of Old Town so you're just a short walk from everything the town has to offer!! Really recommend.

IrelandReally good location! We arrived late at night and had to call the manager to let us into our room, who was extremely nice. It’s located in noisy location so bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper! No toiletries were provided and we had a cockroach visit us on our first night! Although a few things weren’t the best, overall I am really satisfied with this stay!

South Africaunfortunately we had a terrible stay at this hostel. We had booked & paid for a private room with 3 single beds & a private bathroom. When we arrived we were told that the toilet was broken but not to worry, they had alternate accommodation & it was 10 minutes away & would we mind walking there. It was 9pm & peak season & we had little choice but we still thought it would be okay. We arrived to discover we were staying in a room with bunk beds for two although we had booked a room with 3 beds & were now sharing one shower & toilet with 4 other people. We were told we would receive a refund & if not all, it would be substantial. We finally agreed as we had little choice & no refund happened after repeat requests to meet with Lucca the manager.
Nothing as per my report below.
